Thanks Jeff. My field-join condition should be AND instead of OR. That's a big DUH on my part. Less coffee more sleep I guess.

The status would have a value of Active Inactive or All. shortDiagnosisDescription and or diagnosisDescription are not required as long as the 'status' has been selected. So you can basically search on lets say all Active records without specifying a shortDiagnosisDescription or diagnosisDescription. Not sure about radio buttons having values of 'Off' though. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Kyser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 2:52 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: 1.1 rc1 -Validator: Conditionally required fields. An unselected radio button has a value of 'Off' rather than NULL, doesn't it? Are you're trying to say? shortDiagnosisDescription is required if diagnosisDescription is NULL OR status is Off diagnosisDescription is required if shortDiagnosisDescription is NULL OR status is Off -jeff On Thursday, March 20, 2003, at 01:32 PM, Steve wrote: > That makes sense.
